Dr. Yang Sun Lectures Tonight on Food Noise: GLP-1 Drugs, Behavioral Therapy and New Medications
The FreshLemon U.S. Medical Public Lecture series, presented by the U.S. Shenzhen Federation together with FreshLemon Chinese Health Education, continues tonight. This session, "When Willpower Is Not Enough: Food Noise, Behavioral Therapy and Medication," will be given by family physician Dr. Yang Sun, MD, online via Zoom tonight (Sunday, November 1) at 6 p.m. Pacific, free and open to the public.
The talk is part of the series "Food, Emotions and the Hidden Cycle of Addiction." It starts from a common struggle: food constantly on one's mind, and repeated failures to simply "hold back" through willpower alone. Its message is less self-blame and more methods, toward a better relationship with food.
The session has four highlights: why our brains keep thinking about food; what can be done besides "holding back"; how GLP-1 and similar medications help manage blood sugar, weight and appetite; and a new-drug frontiers segment on the development of CagriSema and retatrutide.
Dr. Yang Sun is a family physician and co-founder of FreshLemon Chinese Health. She has practiced medicine in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than 20 years, is a senior internal medicine physician at Kaiser Permanente and a clinical associate professor at Drexel University College of Medicine, and completed her residency training at a UCSF-affiliated hospital.
